Another Fashionable Fad.

The shop girls and East Side bellies have
taken up fashionable fad with alarming
results They are all painting their eyes

suit that every one sees the backing as

The apparatus for this is on sale in every
drug store, and is simply pencil Of black
cosmetic exactly like what men use on
their boards and mustaches. II is black
ing on a basis Of grease. The fashionable
women use it to touch the lashes Of the
eyes ia order 10 frame their optics IN n
way that will make them conspicuous.
Some who think their eyes too small pen
ell the lids with little shading of black
to make the eyes seem larger. This is an
old trick of the stage. But the girls who
are fooling with the pencils lay on the
grease as they would on a pair of stove

NOT so BAD

The Condition OF Cattle in Colorado
Losses Light and Season Favorable.
DENvER, Col, february 22-Up TO a very
recent date the range cattle of Colorado are
reported in excellent condition with very
slight losses. There has been no severe
weather on ranges during the winter except
on a few mountain park, lying chiefly IN
the northwest quarter of the state, where
the snow has been unusually heavy and
cattle have suffered to SINE extent. The
recent snow tall was beneficial, as it was
not accompanied by severe cold. The
season has been much less severe than in
Wyoming or western Dakota, as the n1mer-
Gus cold waves of the winter touched Colo
RADIO lightly. Along the Arkansas valley
cattle Wintered fairly, and if no prOIraoted
cold spell supeFvenes the cattle interests OF
the plains will meet with smaller losses than
last winter. A gentleman who recently went
over the ground, reports that ali over the
eastern part of the state the season has been
very favorable for live stock, and expresses
the belief that the SESSIONS loss, even among
the rswhides, Will be very light.

Causes of the Terrible Ohio Disaster Set
Forth at Length.
TFFIN, o., February 22.-The investiga-
ton OF the great Baltimore i Ohio wreck of
January has drawn to an end finally, and
the verdict rendered by Coroner Pepper is
q very lengthy document. The coroner finds
that freight engine No. D was in an IN
safe and unserVlceaDle condition and that
the officials of the road had been notified Of
this TACT, but still allowed It to be used.
The engineer Of the freight train, Edward
). Killer, was not 1ntOucated5 as charged,
but was WOE1 out with sixteen hours aud
fifty minutes continuous duty, with green
fireman and poor engine. de had plenty
of time to get to Republic from
Seneca siding, but his engine was SO
poor and leaked so that the fires
we're put out and it died on the
track at the point Of the collision. The
conductor of the freight, L. +. Fletcher,
failed IN his duty by not tagging the limit
ed express, for ne knew the engine had died
ten minutes before the express was due.
The brakes on the express were inferior and
Ineffective, Tor they failed to diminish a
speed of forty three miles an hour more
than On6-half II a distance Of 1000 feet.
The manner of heating and lighting the
cars Of the express train was inferior unsafe
and dangerous and contrary to the laws of
Ohio. Had the lighting and heating been
proper the cars would not have burned and
the loss of life would have been very light.
He therefore Ids that the victims came 10
their death through gross negligence on the
part of the Officials and managers Of the Chi
cagO division CT the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and through the gross negligence Of
Conductor L. +. Fletcher in failing to sig
nal the exp ess train. and through gross
negligence on the part Of the owners, Ian
ayers ana OH -ials Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railway company for using on the ex-
press train inferior and ineffective brakes
and an improper, dangerous and unlawful
manner OF lighting anu heating the cars.
It would seem that such negligence as
resulted In such a great loss of life could not
be other han criminal, but there are no
laws in OHIO making such negligence q
crime, and no laws under which such peE-
sons can be charged with crime. The YER
dict viii cause something Of a stir, espeC-
laliy IL this state, and Will probably be the
cause Of the enactment Of laws making such
negLigence q crime with severe punishment.
